Abstract
There is described an image recording apparatus, which makes it possible to improve the operation efficiency of the host computer for high-speed image recording. The apparatus includes: a recording head having a plurality of ink emitting nozzles; a plurality of storing sections to store ink emitting data for every unit ink emitting action; a controller to selectively designate a specific storing section from the plurality of storing sections corresponding to a current progress status of ink emitting actions, and to sequentially read out the ink emitting data from the specific storing section for every unit ink emitting action, in order to depict the specific printing pattern; a shift register to sequentially store the ink emitting data, read by the controller, for every unit ink emitting action; and a head driving section to sequentially drive the recording head for every unit ink emitting action, based on the ink emitting data.
